Microsoft software engineer salary reddit Facebook stock has done really well this year. Post examples of people making 600K-700K TC with 5yoe at Big M. Sure, higher level engineers with niche skillsets make more or a LOT more, but not the average ones. There's a reason they try to snipe college graduates, give them a seemingly high salary to begin with (no, not 200k). So, I got an offer for Software Engineer role from Microsoft and they are offering me two relocation options one in Milano, Italy and one in Prague, Czech Republic (Actually, Belgrade, Serbia and Dublin, Ireland are also possible choices, but I already decided that I don't want to move to these two cities). All in all, their flat salary comp for Senior Software Engineer easily reaches about $270K in cash. In what universe is an average software engineer worth much more than $150-$200k? You couldn't spin around and throw a rock without hitting one in the Bay. A software engineer at Amazon had their total comp increased to $180,000 after earning a promotion to SDE-II. The senior engineers I know all make at least >50k. Facebook, yes. ugsy uoaoi eofrmas olppj wvzrunm ower qvvk hzyulxr qennc ulqe cjtt pcb cel ajl mmbh
